We will take you on a trekking to one of Thailand’s most beautiful national parks, the Pha Daeng National Park in Chiang Dao, Northern Chiang Mai province. Home to the 3rd highest mountain in Thailand, Doi Luang, 2225m above sea level. During the hike you will see spectacular views of surrounding peaks and we will hike to waterfalls and hill tribe villages without other tourists in sight. Enjoying the beauty of this rainforest and its diverse flora and fauna, with big old trees and beautiful vines and bamboo growth. This trek will offer you a more authentic experience than any other.

I have been to hiking trips to Chiang Dao and Doi Inthanon with PM Tours. Both ones were excellent. The trips are very different by the content. That means that PM Tours is a real professional in selecting the guides and destinations for their customers. I felt that they really were on one tune with my needs and expectations. Best recommendations if you are in Chiang Mai!
